Check out Ivoria in Agrelos! They are an evil backboard group situated on the waterway. Successful completion of a trial is required in order to join. We have a great OOC community and would love to have you!

The world was thrown into complete and utter hell, without a single notice.

A mysterious virus has spread the known globe, infecting inhabitants to become undead, unthinking, cannibalistic monsters. Humanity has fallen, streets left barren, and homes left vacant and empty. These creatures, known only as thrashers, roam abandoned human cities with an infectious bite and a hunger for blood. However, while the human race may now be essentially extinct, the world’s fate may still rest in the paws of another group. Forced with the goal of rebuilding society, a pack of dogs has formed, from all walks of life, stray or pet. Led by the fearless yet hot-headed albino Belgian Tervuren Shep, and the wise and practical mutt Indie, the makeshift pack has one goal in mind; to reach the White Mountains in the hopes of being far enough away from the thrashers in order to survive. However, the journey is long and perilous, and humans aren’t the only creatures who can be infected...

Follow Shep, Indie, and the rest of the pack on their quest for survival, where they face the dangers of thrashers, pack politics, starvation, internal pack tensions, and the mysterious gnashers, while also being supported by their growing family unit, and their unique skill sets. With any hope, society may not be doomed after all, under the reign of dogs.

Thrashers are humans infected with the illness. They are your typical zombies, being undead and forced into their basic instincts, that being to eat and multiply. Without their common sense and muscle structure, they are quite primitive and easily gullible, along with being incredibly slow and easy to break apart. However, they make up for this in their large numbers and their infectious bite, able to turn anyone into one of them.

Gnashers are dogs infected with the illness. They are very similar to the thrashers in a lot of ways; rotting body, feral, cannibalistic, can transform others with bite, however, gnashers are a lot more intelligent than thrashers. While they may not have the intelligence of a normal dog, they are able to detect nearby prey and alert thrashers if they need hunting assistance. They are stronger and faster than the average dog, but lack all of the compassion and loyalty of one. While both groups of mutants mainly reside in abandoned towns and cities, they have been slowly making a move towards the forests where our main heroes are headed for.

Alphas: The alphas are the leaders of the pack. Their job is to lead the remaining dogs to the White Mountains safely, making sure their kind stays alive enough to rebuild society. Once they reach the White Mountains, they will make tough decisions to better the pack, and give their members instructions and jobs to do. There are two alphas, both different genders, in order to make sure the hierarchy is more diverse and open minded. The alphas are not in a romantic relationship, but can be if they want to.

Healers: Healers take care of the sick and injured by learning specific healing methods and practices, overall maintaining the health of the pack. Throughout the trip, they are encouraged to learn more about the local flora and healing tricks, in order to broaden their medicinal knowledge.

Guards: Guards stick very close to the edges of the pack when moving in order to make sure the other members are not hurt. When the pack is taking a break for the night, they stay on the lookout for any intruders, and otherwise always stick with the main pack or defenseless members in order to protect them from harm.

Fighters: The fighters’ jobs are to go out and fight. Unlike the guards, fighters do not stay behind, and chase out dangers, often dealing in larger, overarching battles. They also hunt for the pack, providing food the rest of them need.

Workers: Workers take up the majority of the pack. Their jobs are to do whatever tasks are needed to do for the day. This can be anything from finding supplies to staying on the lookout. If everything goes to plan, they will be tasked to build, create, and do manual labor when they get to the White Mountains, in order to progress, advance, and have a better chance at recreating a dominant society.

Played by: OPEN

Notetakers: Notetakers are the scribes of the group, making sure that any important documents from the past, moments in the present, and plans for the future, are memorized in order to be told to future generations.

Played by: OPEN

Caretakers: Caretakers make sure the weaker members are safe and taken care of, from the pups to elders, to even adolescents. They help them and make sure their basic needs are catered to, especially if a pup’s parents aren’t able to.

Elders: Elders are too frail and old to do much in the pack, but they are welcomed to join the party anyway so they can survive as long as possible. They normally provide moral support, as well as wisdom and knowledge from the past to the notetakers.

Played by: OPEN

Adolescents: While they may still be young, unlike pups, adolescents are allowed to help out around the pack and do a lot more things in order to maintain efficiency and to learn how to do certain jobs. However, when push comes to shove, if there’s anything big or major that needs to happen, adolescents are usually shoved out of the way in favor of adults.

Played by: OPEN

Pups: Pups are the youngsters of the pack. They’re fragile and weak, but hold the pack’s future. They are extremely protected and gain a lot of love and affection in the pack. They’re the ones whose lives try to be protected first in front of everyone else, including the alphas.

10. Either don’t use pictures or use photos, no artwork. (Unless it’s from picrew or you made it.)

11. The main complicated bit: In order to not be left out, EVERY CHARACTER MUST HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERY CHARACTER. This can be something as minor as the two characters being related, to something as major as a huge overarching subplot. What if a new person joins? Add a plot to your form. What if I have two characters? Too bad, they have to have a relationship with everyone, including each other.

12. I understand if you are busy, but please finish your form at a reasonable time.

13. Know someone who may be interested in this thread but isn’t in it already? Have them PM me!14. Nothing too outrageous. I know this sounds silly, but even if there are zombies and dogs trying to create tools and campfires, keep everything mainly grounded.

15. All dogs must be a part of the pack. If there’s a dog who is not a part of the pack, they must be an NPC and not a main character.

16. You must only be a dog. There can be some non dog characters, but they must be NPCs. Also, absolutely no humans, not even NPC ones.

17. Get along little doggies!18. Have Fun!19. Write a quote from Bee Movie if you read all the rules. (I’m sorry I couldn’t think of anything else!)

Pet, Stray, Experiment, Fighting Dog, or Other: PetPersonality: Indie is very calm and level-headed, a good candidate for a leader. While she may not be as bold or dominating as Shep, she does serve as the strategist of the operation. Indie is the glue that keeps the dogs together, using her kind nature and her practical, unbiased thoughts to quell any potential fighting. She is a mediator, who would much rather appease everyone and think of a solution than bicker about a potential topic. While Indie may not be the most physically strong, or even aggressive, she does try to stand her ground as alpha, even if it may not always work. Besides keeping things together with her more pacifistic viewpoints, she is also very intelligent, able to assess a situation and respond quickly. Having many knowledge of humans and the landscape, she is able to inform her pack about specific information they need to know, and think of their next plan. She does not like to think about humans too much, as it reminds her of her old home. While perhaps not the most moral decision, she chooses to think of Thrashers as just monsters, as she doesn’t think she could bring herself to see them as people. She gets really uncomfortable when you bring up her old past, though she does look back on it fondly.

-Freezes up when she has to realize her owners were probably transformed

History: Before becoming leader, Indie was just a normal house dog before the apocalypse hit. Abandoned as a pup, and lost in a world where she was a freak, being adopted by humans was a godsend. She deeply cared for her humans, and they deeply cared for her back. Soon everything went foggy, maybe it was because she couldn’t remember, maybe because she doesn’t want to think about. Her next clearest memory was running for her life, confused and scared in a sea full of Thrashers. Where had all the humans gone? What happened? More importantly, where was her family? After taking some time to recompose herself, she soon realized that she was in a new world, and ran into Shep. The two decided to work together and collect survivors before heading to the White Mountains, becoming the de facto leaders of their makeshift pack.

Relationships:

-Shep: As her co-alpha, Indie trusts him, possibly more than anyone else in the pack. She puts a lot of her faith in him and sometimes turns to him when she doesn’t know what to do. However, she hates his temper, believing anger will sew unnecessary discord within the pack.

-Sierra: While she admires her strength and courage, Indie can’t help but get annoyed at Sierra’s rebellious and abrasive nature, but she normally tries to calm her down, with her trademark chipper nature.

-Fox: Despite being a leader, Indie treats Fox like an old friend. She respects their intellect, ingenuity, and cunningness, and tries to help them overcome their social anxieties. While Fox may be rambunctious, you always have to appreciate your medics.

Other: According to all known laws of aviation, there’s no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

Name: Sierra

“What’s the worst that could happen?”

Nicknames: Sierra Mist, Mist, Seer, The Stray

Age: 4 years

Gender: Cisgender Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Rank: Fighter

Wanted Rank: Alpha

Breed: Agouti Husky

Pet, Stray, Experiment, Fighting Dog, or Other: Stray

Personality: Sierra is the troublemaker of the pack. Born and raised alone on the streets, she has a hard time trusting anybody, and often relies on herself. This can prove difficult, as not only does it negatively affect the team, but also her, as she refuses help from others. She is very emotional, aggressive, and territorial, often not liking being told what to do and getting angry when others yell at her. She’s a lone wolf, often choosing to rebel out of sheer spite or what she thinks is necessary. While she distrusts humans, she secretly longs for companionship from others, but just generally doesn’t do well with being pushed around. She has an incredibly soft side to her, and will become protective over those she cares about, if you manage to get close to her without making her feel patronized. She is generally sassy and likes to joke around. To her, the pandemic is a joke. Nothing to worry about for a stray like her. She’s been on the streets all her life, so what’s the worst that can happen? She’s strangely optimistic, often dismissing signs of hopelessness and tries to assure herself and everyone that there is a way to make it out, or at least have fun somehow.

History: Sierra spent her whole life on the streets, molding her into the dog she is now. She was abandoned by her parents as a pup, and was forced to fend for herself. It wasn’t easy living all by herself, but she soon got the hang of several survival strategies she picked up from her surroundings. While she mainly stayed alone, she sometimes had fun with other stray dogs looking to cause mischief. While she probably wouldn’t have joined the pack on her own volition, hearing that they were the only other dogs left in the world, she thought it would be best if they all stuck together.

Parents: Soot (father), Mist (mother)

Siblings: Unknown

Other Relatives: Unknown

Crushes: None yet

Mates: None yet

Pups: None

Relationships:

-Shep: She has a harder relationship with Shep than Indie. On the one hand, Shep’s equally aggressive nature often gets the two into fights that are hard to break up. On the other, Sierra is more likely to back down out of fear and self preservation. -Indie: Similar to Shep, Sierra naturally butts heads with Indie, though due to Indie’s much more calm and rational demeanor,

-Fox: Sierra doesn’t mess around with Fox much. Fox is much too clever and tricky, often finding ways to make Sierra seem foolish if she tries to pick a fight with them. She appreciates them for their fun loving chaotic nature, though does get easily offended by their tricks.

Plot Ideas for Individual Character:-She learns to become more mature and respectful while others soon begin to see her sensitive side and understand why she does thing the way she does.

Personality: Like their namesake, Fox is the essence of a crafty trickster. They are sarcastic and can see through anyone’s bullshit, calling out others whenever they think they’re being stupid. They are incredibly intelligent, and while they use their mind towards helping others in the pack, they are also extremely crafty, tending to mess around and do things their own way. While not a prankster or disobedient, they use their words to make fools out of others and trick them if they are threatening Fox, and they often like to go off on their own escapades, having fun and creating havoc that makes them happy. Fox is quite shy and anxious, causing them to not speak much when around strangers, due to them being raised as a test subject. They have an affinity for thievery, and will steal things they find precious without caring about what anyone else has to say. They work hard at their job and care deeply for others, but also don’t care about what others think of them or what they like to do.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

-Doesn’t talk much

-Afraid of humans

History: Fox was pretty much raised in a research facility. They spent all of their life locked up in cages or being experimented on. However, when the virus came out, they was one of the few who saw it as a blessing. Sure, it wasn’t the best thing to happen, but it was one way out of this hellhole. With the staff becoming mindless zombies, Fox quickly burst out of their cage, never looking back. Once on the other side, they knew that the lab was just the beginning. They quickly joined the pack as a means of survival. Using their knowledge of science from living in the lab, they became one of the pack’s resident healers.

Relationships:-Shep: Finds Shep irritating and annoying, but respects their leadership and their plans. Often dislikes their arrogance and anger, ignoring them when they act that way, as it is more wise to listen to someone who is actually reasonable.

-Indie: Respects Indie and likes her as a leader way more than the temperamental Shep, and appreciates her for letting them into her pack, however, they believe she should stand up for themselves more.

-Sierra: Respects her carefree, wild, and fun loving spirit, but makes fun of her for getting all angsty, often playing mind tricks on her whenever she starts acting rude.

Plot Ideas for Individual Character:-As the thread progresses, Fox becomes more and more vocal

Sorry, but you’re missing a few details, and I would prefer if the personality was moreso descriptions than traits.

Yes you may reserve Shep, but their breed must remain the same.

Sorry but the relationship section is supposed to be for how they feel about other characters or plotting with other characters, as I mentioned in the PM. Also, I would preferably like a little more detail in the personality section if you don’t mind. I’m planning on making this RP a semi-advanced to advanced thread, meaning there’s going to be A LOT of writing. No offense. Am I sounding like a jackass? If so, I’m so, so sorry.
